[Making a note of this ID for her own future reference. Someone else interested in the rifts, hm? She's keeping track...]

There is none. If there were, that information would have been made readily available already. There are, however, some who are interested in researching them, myself included.

While I've little findings at the moment, I believe there are entities that might have the answers that we seek in travelling the rifts.

[Or not travelling them.]

[encoreinthedeep]

[ His first impulse is to remark that others have told him that information on the rifts is not readily shared, but the latter part of her message is much more relevant right now. ]

What are those entities?

[garudas]

All this talk under this post and not a single soul has bothered to explain the Ancients to you? Disappointing.

[encoreinthedeep]

Indeed. Do you intend to do better?

[garudas]

I always do, but I would first caution you to not be so quick to bite the hand that feeds.

[encoreinthedeep]

I was not aware I was biting.

[ That's just how he talks. ]

[garudas]

[Well then, they are off to a great start.

With that out of the way, she ignores that and moves along.]

The Ancients are simply that. Long before the leviathans we see now existed, there were larger leviathans that roamed this world with magic that far surpasses what you see now.

[That is the short of it, anyway.]

I believe that what they possess is linked directly to the magic of this world, if not what makes it completely. The issue, however, lies in finding them.

[encoreinthedeep]

[ Will Ulpianus make the entire crew of the Hideaway except Mid hate him? Tune in to find out!

As for what she tells him... That's a bit of a "well, fuck" moment. At the same time, he feels a bit of hope - in the sense that these ancient Leviathans might be if not the same, then analogous to the Firstborn.

He will have to find out more. ]

And you wish to find them.

Have you or anyone else descended into the abyssal depths?
